Feelings are too hurt to write.

A change has happened.  I'm not sure if the Universe has shifted or my subconscious is reminding me I'm close to a personal new year, but a new mentality has hit me hard.  It seems I woke up and realized I've learned a whole lot almost overnight.
I realize talk too much about myself.  I give too much information about myself, share my opinion too often.  I'm not talking about giving a bit of advice or telling  a story to a friend, I practically share my honest feelings with strangers.  I've been told people like that about me.  I've realized it makes me vulnerable.  Makes it easier to be set up to have my feelings hurt.
And boy, have they been hurt recently. I took my dreads out over the Halloween Holiday.  It took over 30 hours and three flea combs, but it's all out.  I saved a ton of my hair, much more than I expected. Besides needing a trim, it looks great.  I've only had one person say she doesn't like it, she liked my dreads better.  She was the highlight of my week...  Yes, I miss my dreads. Yes, I loved how it made me different from everyone else.  That's not why she was my ray of sunshine.  All week, people have been oooh-ing and ahh-ing over my hair.  Numerous people ran their fingers through my hair without permission.  Way too many of them verbally slapped me in the face with a smile on their own.  "Angel, I love your hair! Your dreads really looked like shit."  Wow, really?  Yes.  That was a quote. Someone had the balls to tell me those exact words.  It was pretty much the jist of every encounter.... A hairstyle, a lifestyle that I LOVED, cheapened and abused at the blink of an eye.  It really hurt me to hear so many people being so negative, so many people ignoring my eyes staring at the floor, tears swelling. 

Ugh.  I don't feel like writing anymore.
